4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1895. BREAKS UP A TRUST. The .Decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois. A BROAD ISSUE SETTLED. Corporations Have Only Such Powers as Are Expressly Granted. THE PULLMAN CASE AFFECTED. It Is Believed the Separate Prop- erties Will Revert to Original Owners. SPRINGFIELD, IrL, June 13.—The Su- preme Court of Illinois to-day filed its opinion in the case of the people versus the Distiliing and Cattle Feeding Com- pany. The judgment of ouster entered by the lower court is affirmed. The effect of this decision will be to break up the whisky trust. Attorney Levy Mayer, representing the reorganization committee, says the de- cision will hasten the accomplishment of the committee’s object. Attorney-General Moloney in discussing the dec n of the Supreme Court in the whi trust case said: “It is plain also from the language used by the Supreme Court in this case that the Pullman Palace Car Company will meet with the same fate at the hands of the Su- preme Court that the whisky trust has met with. The Supreme Court has expressly ided that corporations organized under aws of this State have only such ex- press powers as are granted to them and that their powers must be strictly con- strued, and all that is not given to them in | express language is denied. | “‘The words of the Supreme Court are: ‘It should be remembered that grants of powers in corporate charters are to be con- strued strictly, and that what is not clearly given is by implication denied. The de- fendant is authorized toown such property | as is necessary to carry on its distillery and no more. Its power to acquire and hold pr8perty is limited to that purpose.’”’ In the course of the opinion the court says: No ome who intelligently considers scheme of this trust, as detailed mation, can for & moment doubt that it was | designed to be and was in fact & combination | in restraint of trade, and that it was organized for the purpose ot getting control of the manu- facture and sale of all distillery products, so as to stifie competition and to be able to dictate the amount manufactured and the prices at which the same should besold, and that its effect is to create or tend to create a virtual monopoly in manufacture and sale of the products of that character. | No rational purpose for such an organization can be shown consistent with an intention to allow the business to run in its normal chan- nels, to give competition its legitimate opera- tion, and to sllow both production end prices to be controlled by the natural influence of supply and demand, and the results as thown by the information were such as might be an- ticipated. The trust obtained possession of nearly sall the distilleries and nearly the entire distillery products of the United States, thus enabling it to dictate prices and the amount of production and to draw to itself substantially the control of the distillery busibess of the country. The court cites a large number of deci- sions showing combinations of a similar character that have been held illegal in other States, among others the match trust. The opinion continues: But it is urged that the defendant by its charter is authorized to purchase and own dis- tillery property, but that there is no limi placed upon the amount of property which it may thus acquire. By its certificate of organ- ization it is authorized to engage in a general distillery business in Illinois and elsewhere and own property necessary for that purpose. In acquiring distillery properties in the man- ner and for the purpose shown in the informa- tion, the defendant has not only misused and abused the powers granted by its charter, but has usurped &nd exercised powers not implied by it and which are wholly foreign to that instrument. EYiEs PLANTS MAY BE SEIZED. Such Is the Declared Intention of Some of the Original Owners. CHICAGO, Irr., June 13. — Receiver John McNulta was not inclined to discuss the whisky trust decision, but asserted his intention to hold the trust’s property at any cost. The opinion has been expressed that in the event of a decision such as was ren- dered to-day the trust’s distilleries would revert to the original owners, some of whom have expressed their intention of seizing the plants. Deputy United States Marshals have been on guard at the various distjlleries for some time. BIOT AT A NEGRO PICNIC. 4 Marshal’s Posse Was Unable to Cope With the Disturbers. JEFFERSONVILLE, Isn.,, June 13.— About 200 negroes went to Glen Park, near Selersberg, Ind., to attend a picnic given by a local lodge. They soon became in- toxicated and started a riot. Knives were drawn, pistols fired, men knocked down, stores raided, and pandemonium reigned. Marshal Huffstiller and the deputies he called to his aid were soon overpowered, several women were knocked down and seriously injured. One of them, Mis. James Wilson, is in a critical condition. One woman shot and came near killing a negro. Before the help which the Marshal asked for arrived the negroes escaped to Kentucky. | The One Brings a Swit for Criminal Libel | Foster of the United Staces District Court e WALKER ON MEADE. The Latter Said to Be Disgusted With the Present Foreign Policy. HELENA, MoxT., June 13.—The Glas- gow Gazette, a weekly paper published in Northern Montana, says that Rear-Ad- miral Walker of the United States navy passed through Glasgow on his way West to inspect lighthouses. According to the Gazette Walker, speak: ing of the Admiral Meade incident, said: “Admiral Meade was disgusted with the foreign policy of this administration and believed that he could not conscientiously carry out such a policy. He wasa man universally esteemed among his associ- | and the ates, and the navy will miss him.” oot g e A Fellow-Feeling Hangs a Jury. TOPEKA, Kax., June 13.—The jury in the Nevels case reported at moon to-day that they could not agree and were dis- charged. The jury stood eleven for con- viction and one for acquittal.

TCPEKA, Kaxs., June 13.—Judge C. G. to-day brought suit in the Shawnee County District Court for criminal libel against Major J. K. Hudson, editor of the Topeka Capital and State Printer-elect. The two have long been at enmity and the Capital on June 2 appeared with a long editorial charging Judge Foster with interfering in the contest between the present State Printer, Snow, and Hudson. The editorial referred to Foster as a “legal tyrant” and *‘judicial cadaver” and accused him of drawing a salary as Dis- trict United States Judge for services he was not able to perform, and also stated that ““to a packed Grand Jury this travesty upon a just Judge gave such instructions as to insure a verdict against the collection of fees he himself indorsed as correct.” Major Hudson is at present in New York City on business. Foster was appointed Judge by President Grant. ey, e DIED IN CAPTIVITY. Death of a Priest Who Was a Prisoner for Fourteen Years. NEW YORK, N.Y., June 13.—Informa- tion has been received by way of Rome that Father Neufeld, a priest for whose re- lease from captiv in the Soudan J.J. Coyle of Pomona, Cal., has been endeavor- ing to form an expedition, is dead. No de- tails are known. @ It is about fourteen years since Father Neufeld was made prisoner by the Mah- dists with Father Lupton (who is also dead), Father Rossignoli, Slantin Bey and others. Rossignoli and Slatin Bey subsequently succeeded in making their escape. FORCED T0 AN APOLOEY Rev. Dr. Hulbert Charged the President With Fishing on Sunday. His Allegation Denounced as an Absolute Falsehood by Secre- tary Thurber. WILMINGTON, DeL., June 13.—In an address before the Scott Literary Society of the Wilmington Conference Academy at Dover, Tuesday night, Rev. Dr. Merritt Tulbert, pastor of Grace M. E. Church, this city, gave utterance to the newspaper charge that President Cleveland had gone fishing on Sunday last. The editor of the Dover Index wired Private Secretary Thurber an inqguiry as to the truth of the charge, and received the following answer: In answer to your telegram I beg to state that if the Rev. Dr. Hulbert said that the Pres- ident fished on Sunday he told an absolute falsehood. HENRY THURBER, Private Secretary. Upon being shown this telegram to-day Dr. Hulbert said: I read the reference to the President in a newspaper while coming from Pittsbur, T did not make the statement definitely nor with animus. If it had been a matter of previous thought it would not have been said. I am not given to speaking evil of a magistrate or dignitaries on any- body’s authority.” — STRUCK A4 WATERSPOUT. Terrible Experience of an Vessel at Sea. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 13.—The barkentine Wandering Jew, which sailed from this port June 1 for Havana with 1,240,000 gallons of crude oil in cases, valued at §$25,000, returned to port to-day. On the night of the 9th inst., when the vessel's position was seventy miles east- southeast from Cape Hatteras, the wind suddenly died out and a huge white jet drew rapidly near. It was a mammoth waterspout making directly for the vessel. All hands became panic stricken, but before they had time to move it was upon the vessel, and none remember anything further until awakening from a sort of a dream and finding their vessel a helpless wreck and all hands badly bruised. It was decided to run back for the Delaware Capes, which were reached Wednesday night. Oil-Laden —_——— A STAGE HOLD-UP, The Robbers Foiled by the Bluff of the Driver. DENVER, Coro., June 13.—A special to the Republican from Meeker, Colo., says: The Meeker-Rifle incoming stage was held up by masked robbers this afternoon at the twelve-mile post. There was a package on board marked $3000 currency addressed to the Bank of Meeker, which contained $3000 in county bonds. The robbers de- manded this package, which the driver said was not there. Then they took what money the one passenger had, but finding it was only $10 they returned it. The mail sacks were not disturbed. Officers are now on their trail. e HEAVY DAMAGES. They Are Assessed Against Rockefeller for Alleged I'alse Representations. DULUTH, Mivx., June 13.—A verdict was returned this evening in the jury in the case of Alfred Merritt against John D. Rockefeller, the jury assessing Merritt's damages at $940,000. The action was brought in the United States court to re- cover $1,250,000 as damages caused to plain- tiff by reason of alleged fraudulent repre- sentations made by Mr. Rockefeller and his agents at the time when the Merritt properties on the Mesaba range were in- cluded in the Lake Superior Consolidated mines, now controlled by Mr. Rockefeller.

Other Barbarous Atrocities Are Said to Have Been Committed. A GRAVE QUESTION RAISED. Liability of the United States for " the Filibustering Ex- pedition. HAVANA, Cusa, June 13.—The insur- gents have burned the village of Neuvitas, near San Diego de Cuba, destroying twenty houses. In addition to this they barbar- ously murdered five citizens by hacking them with machetes and wounded two others, The president of the Red Cross Associa- tion has disappeared from San Diego de Cuba and is supposed to have joinel the insurgents. A professor of the Institute of Pinnerco, Maximo Abunza, while examining stu- dents who presented themselves for grad- uation, sustained an atheist thesis upon revolutionary principles and which was unfavorable to the continued rule of Spain over Cuba, The Government promptly ordered the suspension of the professor and also of the doctor of the in- stitute. Later advices received from Santiago de Cuba shows that less than seven houses were burned at Neuvitas, and they include stores and cottages. A detachment of si teen soldiers of the civil guard fortified i self in one of the buildings and keptup a hot fire upon the insurgents, whose leader, Duran, was killed with many others. The insurgents also left a number of wounded behind them. The families of the population of Neuvitas are flocking to Santiago de Cuba, where great excitement prevails, The insurgents have destroyed part of the railroad to Holwein, and are under- stood to be marching on Purnia, in the di- rection of the province of Puerto Principe. Lieutenant-Colonel Rotger, at the head of a small body of troops near Santiago de Cuba, was fired upon by the insurgents, commanded by Perico Dominez, and had one man killed. P GRAVE QUESTION, It Involves the Liability of the United States. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.—The steamer George Childs, carrying the fili- bustering expedition from Key West, has landed at Jamaica. Definite information to this effect has been received here. It was due in a large measure to the sailing of this expedition last week that the ad- ministration determined on energetic steps to prevent any violation of the neutrality. laws, and that President Cleveland issuea his proclamation last night. The information from Jamaica states only that the steamer has landed, but does not add details as to whether the filibus- ters are still on board or were landed at some point in Cuba. The fact that the information from Jamaica gives only the arrival of the Childs, without mention of the filibusters, leads to the impression in some quarters that the suspicions directed against her may prove unfounded, as there is only irregular information thus far to show that the steamer carried the party. If the steamer, as alleged, has carried from the United States a supply of muni- tions of war and armed men to aid the rebels in Cuba the incident may raise a grave question as to tne resvonsibility of the Government. On the statement of the facts to our officials the case bears a strong resemblance to the celebrated Alabama affair, which cost the British Government many millions of dollars to settle. In the Childs case the vessel was under the United States flag, and practically the expedition started in this country. It was said that our Government was duly advised of the intended departure of the Childs expedition, though whether the advices were in themselves sufficient to make a prima facie case justifying the arrest of the parties or the detention of the vessel under the terms of our law cannot be learned. By the terms of the treaty of Washing- ton the United States bound Great Britain and itself to the doctrine that a nation is bound to use ‘““due diligence” to prevent the departure of armed expeditions against afriendly nation. This raises the point whether the United States can be held to have exercised due diligence in the matter, —_— OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

Encourcging Reports Telegraphed to the Agricultural Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.—The Agricultural Department’s telegraphic ad- vices from Pacific Coast States say con- cerning growing crops: California.—High northerly winds dam- aged grain and fruit by scattering out and shriveling the former and blowing the lat- ter off the trees. Grasshoppers are re- ported in Yuba, Butte and Placer coun- ties. Hops are improving and growing rapidly. Washington.—It has been a dry week and warm in the latter part. Rain is now needed. Reportsare for the most part fa- vorable, especially for grain, though some are discouraging. The strawberry season isnow at its height, and the yield very large. Haying has just begun and. the crop will be heavy. Oregon.—Cool and cloudy till Saturday, then warm. The weather is very favorable west of the Cascades and vegetation is growing vigorously. East of the moun- tains cereals need more rain. All fruit very heavy crops. Haying isin progress. There will be a heavy yield. - MAY HAVE TO PAY. It Is Probable Indemnity May Be De- manded by the United States. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.—The confirmation of reports that American missionary property in China has been de- stroyed makes it probable that the United States Government will require China to make suitable indemnity when the facts are officially established. A precedent for such recompense was made when the United States paid China a considerable amount for mob depredation on Chinamen in the far Northwest. The reports of losses to mission property in China vary. It is said that the indem- nity asked will cover not only the actual damage and loss to the American mission- aries, but also a sum as recompense for the indignity suffered. CHINA e A Strike Averted. WASHINGTON, D, C., June 13.—To-day the indications are that the trouble be- tween the bookbinders at the Government Printing Office and-the foremen will be amicably settled, and the threatened strike of the 600 bookbinders in-the Government employ here averted.

C., June 13.—The formal transfer of the Island of Formosa from China to Japan is announced in a cablegram from the Japanese Foreign Office to the legation here. It occurred on June 3, but, as there is no telegraphic communication between Japan and For- mosa, the news was conveyed by a dispatch-boat. Lord Li, son of Lord Li Hung Chang acted for the Chinese, and it is believed Mr. John W. Foster was also present. Admiral Kabayama acted in be- half of Japan in receiving the new posses- sion. The dispatch states that all foreign- ers are safe, and that the natives welcomed the arrival of the Japanese. BLACK ¥FLAGS DEFIANT, They Are Expected to Oppose the Land- ing of the Japanese. LONDON, ExG., June 13.—A special dis- patch from Shanghai says the remnant of the famous Black Flags are entrenched at Chung Wa, Formosa, and are expected to make a determined stand against the Japanese, who are taking possession of the island, according to the terms of the treaty of peace. A special also says that a British gun- boat has been ordered to Yang-tse Kiang onaccount of probable trouble there. In conclusion, the Shanghai dispatch saysthe Chinese Minister at Peking holds the of- ficials of Ching Tu responsible for part of the outrages against the foreign missions, Eoo French Troops Defeat the Hovas.

This was the conclusion arrived at yesterday, and it was de- cided to send out a committee of five to do missionary work with the reluctant lines, which are the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis, Denver and Rio Grande and the Colorado Midland, HER REPLY DEFIANT. Manitoba Refuses Obey the Order of the Dominion, to PUBLIC SCHOOL ISSUE. Catholic Institutions Declared | to Have Proved In-~ efficient. FULL INVESTIGATION ASKED. The Question One of the Most Im- | portant Before the Canadian . Parliament. WINNIPEG, Maniropa, June 13.—In the Manitoba Legislature this afternoon | Attorney-General Sexton gave notice of a motion setting forth Manitoba’s reply to the Dominion Government’s demand that separate schools should again be estab- lished in Manitoba. Itis a direct refusal of the demand. The reply is in the form of a memorial addressed to his Excellency the Governor-General of Canada, in coun- cil. It first recites the remedial order and then submits the following: These privileges, which by said oraer we are commanded to restore to our Roman Catholic fellow-citizens, are substantially the same privileges which they enjoyed previous to the year 1890. Compliance with the terms of the order would restore the Catholic separate schools, with no more satisfactory guarantees for their efficiency than existed prior to the same date. The educational policies embodied in our present statutes were adopted after an exami- nation of the results of the policy theretofore followed, under which the separate Roman Catholic schools (now sought to be restored) had existed for upward of nineteen years. The said scnools were found to be inefficient. As conducted under the Roman Catholic sec- | tion of the Board of Education they did not | possess the attributes of efficient modern pub- lic schools. Thefr conduct, management and regulation were defective. Asa resultof the leaving of & large section of the population with no better meansof education than was thus supplied, many people grew up in a state of illiteracy. So far as we are aware there has | never been an attempt to defend these schools on their merits, and we do not know of any | ground upon which the expenditure of public money in their support could be justified. We are, therefore, compelled to respectfully state to your Excellency in council that we | cannot accept the responsibility of carrying into effect the terms of the remedial order. The reforms effected in 1890 have given an im- petus to educational work, but the difficulties which are inherent in our circumstances have constantly to be met. Itwill be obvious that the establishment of a set of Roman Catholic | schools, followed by a set of Anglican schools | and by Mennonite, Icelandic schools would so | impair our political system that any approach to even our present general standard of effi- ciency would be quite impossible. We con- template the inauguration of such a state of | affairs with very grave apprehension. We have | no hesitancy in saying there cannotbe sug- gested any measure which, to our minds,would more seriously imperil the development of our province. We believe that when the remedial order ‘was made there was then not available to your Excellency in couneil full and accurate in- formation as to the working of our former sys- tem of schools. We also believe there was lacking the means of forming a correct judg- ment as to the effect upon the province of the changes indicated in the order. Being im- presced with this view we respectfully submit that it {s not too late to make & full and delib- erate investigation of the whole “subject. Should such a course be adopted, we shall cheerfually assist in offering the most complete information available. It is urged most strongly that upon o im- portant a matter, involving as it does the religious feelings and convictions of different classes of the people in Canads and the educa- tional interests of a province which isexpected to become one of the most important in the Dominion, no hasty action should be taken, but that, on the contrary, the greatest care and | deliberation should be exercised and a full and thorough investigation made. As to the legislative grant we hold that it is entirely within the control of the Legislature of the proviuce, and that no part of the public funds of the proviuce could be made available for the purpose of separate schools without the voluntary action of the provincial Legislature. If this be the case nothing could be more un- fortunate, from the standpoint of the Roman Catholic people themselves, than any hasty or peremptory action on the part of the Parlia- ment of Canada, because such action would probably produce strained relations and tend to prevent the possibility of restorizg harmony. We understand it has lately been suggested that private fnnds of the Roman Cetholic church and people have been invested in school buildings and land that are now appro- priated for public school purposes. No evi- dence offsuch fact has ever been laid before us, so far as we can ascertain, but we profess our- selves willing, if any such injustice can be established, to make full and fair compensa~ tion therefor. In conclusion, we beg respectfully to place on record our continued loyalty to her gracious Majesty and :to the laws which the Parliament of Gres . Britain has in its wisdom seen fit to enact .or the good government of Canada. The House then adjourned. It is not expected that the question will come up until Monday, when Premier Greenway Teaches the city from Ottawa. Compelled to Abandon the Race.

Like the ‘blunder- buss” of that decade they were big and clumsy, but in- effective. 1In this century of enlight- enment, we have Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pel- lets, which cure all liv- er, stomach and bowel derangements in the most effective way. Assist Nature a little now with a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby removing offending matter from the stomach and bowe s, toning up and_invigorating the liver and quickening its tardy action, and you and then, thereby remove the caus a multi- tude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pimples, blotches, erup- tions, boils, constipation, piles, fistu- las and maladies too numerous to mention. Properly regulate the bowels, and doctor’s services will be unnecessary to subdue attacks of dangerous discases, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the | bestof all known agents to accomplish | this purpose, which is proven by the fact that once used, they are al ways in favor. Their secondary effect is ta keep the bowels open, not to further constipate, as is the case with other pills. ~ Hence, their great popularity, with sufferers from habitual constipa- tion, piles and indigestion. A free sample of the *‘ Pellets” (4 to 7 doses ), on #rial, is mailed to any address, post-paid, on rcceirt of name and address on a postal card.
